Gosh, I've been meaning to make this announcement for such a long time... but owing to a string of unfavorable and unfortunate circumstances I simply haven't been able to. But now it's done... we made it!
To cut a long story short, after months of prep work, endless ups & downs, and many disappointments, I finally managed to set up my own small stunt school here in Germany. I did it together with my long-standing teacher and very good friend, the former Chinese National Wushu Champion and mart...Read more
No worries, folks... I'm not going to rant about how unfair life in general and the movie business in particular is.But I'd like to share some of my experiences as a small-time actor & stunt performer, as some kind of a reality check going out to all those guys that keep telling me that being a stuntman is so friggin' coooool....
Example: just this morning I got an e- mail from stunt buddy David in Berlin, telling me that my part in the German Disney production
GANGS...Read more
Yo! Finally some news on the stunt front...
I went to Berlin the other day to join David Toeroek and his Martial Artz Meetz Media Team for a Walt Disney movie project called GANGS.
The whole bunch of us got hired as the stunt fighting crew , at the same time playing the main gang members of an Eastern European criminal organization called... uhumm, "The Killers".
Brilliant.
Because of the repeated inquiries by the countless fans (just kiddin') of my dreaded outpourings on Chinese Mainland Wushu Cine of the 80s (yes, JRS ... this one goes out to you
), I'm hereby posting Part IV of the series. You asked for it...

Been back on the set of LASKO this week. Didn't have much to do, really... since we'd shot all my fight scenes already, I just went there to be in one single shot (which got canceled, in the end)... so, I took a few random pics of the location & the crew, instead. You gotta do SOMETHING!
And just in case you're wondering, it's a famous mountain area in East Germany (Saxony, to be precise)... quite popular with rock-climbing freaks & Japanese tourists, hehe!
Yes, yes, I know... long time no review
. Been crazy busy with other stuff, and I plead guilty of neglecting my ambitious endeavor of regularly paying homage to the best of the best of the 80's Mainland China Wushu flicks. But somehow I've finally managed to come up with Part III of this review collection & I hope that you guys who used to check out my blog particularly for
this little columnwill enjoy the new sequel all the more...

Yesterday, a bunch of guys from our wushu posse went to do a little Sunday exercise in our much frequented local gymnastics hall. We usually go there to practise our tumbling & acro & stuff.
I couldn't do a lot because of my injury, but just to kill time I whipped myself through a few basic fl...Read more
I just happened across this little gem. I'd been looking for the lyrics of this song for quite some time now. It's the theme song of an American TV series of the early 80s, "The Fall
Guy",
starring
Lee Majors, Heather Thomas
and... another guy. This show was about a movie stuntman who also worked as a bounty hunter to supplement his income
! Great stuff. Buckle up.

Shooting "Lasko" in Berlin
I'm writing this in pain. When I say pain, it's not like a "stab-in-the-guts" or a "baseball-bat-on-the-head" pain. It's more like a tight, almost pleasant full-body soreness, which makes you feel like having done a particularly good job.
And a good job I did (in all modesty). 'T was a 17-hour shoot on one of the hottest days of the year. Admittedly, we'd been goldbrickin' in the sun for most of the day, shootin' the cr...Read more
Yesterday I was out of town again for some serious rehearsals in ACTION CONCEPT 's very own stunt training hall in Berlin. Oh boy, it's huuuuuge!
And it's dirty. After 5 minutes of training all the stunt guys looked like a gang of coal miners. Besides, the thick layer of undeterminable black soot gave everyone a nasty allergy. So, we had people sneezing about all over the place (even throughout today I've still kept sneezing at a 2-minute-pulse).
I couldn't take any...Read more
